CF wrapped front grill

Been waiting for a JDM/Mugen grill that looks better than stock, but haven't seen much. Ordered one off that auction site, but after a month they told me it wasn't in stock and wouldn't be in the foreseeable future. Thought about the sport grill but I really don't think it's much of an improvement over the stocker. So, finally bit the bullet and got out the faux carbon fiber sticky sheet, hair dryer and x-acto knife. Had to pull off the whole bumper cover to get the grill off. Once that was done, the front grill was actually easier to wrap than the rear garnish. I matte wrapped the little chrome bit while I was at it.

I still wouldn't say I particularly like this front grille, but at least I don't hate it anymore.

Did you remove the honda emblem? If so... Was it like popped on or what?
And did you use quality vinyl like 3m or Avery ?

The glossy portion of the grille surrounds the H but the H itself is attached to the layer behind. The glossy panel and the chrome bit tab into the main grille. (sorry no photos)

Not sure of the brand of vinyl, not 3M or Avery, I just got it off the auction site.

That looks great!

How hard/easy was it to remove the front bumper?
